Asim Munir Meets Saudi Defence Minister, Discusses Regional Security After Iranian Attacks

Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces and Field Marshal Asim Munir held a meeting with Prince Khalid bin Salman, the Defence Minister of Saudi Arabia, during a visit to the kingdom where both sides discussed the evolving regional security situation.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the meeting focused on the security challenges arising from recent drone and missile attacks attributed to Iran.

During the meeting, the two leaders exchanged views on measures under the Strategic Defence Agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia aimed at preventing such attacks and strengthening regional stability.

The ISPR said that both sides emphasised that unprovoked aggression poses a serious threat to peace and security in the region. They noted that such attacks reduce the chances of meaningful dialogue and escalate tensions.

According to the military’s media wing, the discussion also highlighted the importance of diplomatic engagement and cooperation among friendly nations to resolve conflicts peacefully.

Both sides expressed hope that Iran would demonstrate prudence and wisdom in handling the situation and adopt a cautious approach that could help de-escalate tensions in the region.

The meeting also reaffirmed the commitment of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to further strengthen cooperation in defence and security matters.

The two countries agreed to continue working closely for the promotion of regional stability, peace and stronger bilateral relations.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia maintain longstanding strategic and defence ties, with regular cooperation in security, military training and regional stability initiatives.
